Unless people understand why wildlife should be conserved, they will not help to conserve it. Early this month, we were at Kasenyi Landing Site where we sensitized fishermen on the need to sustainably conserve fish and the laws protecting fish in Uganda. We were joined by the District Fisheries Officer Wakiso, Fisheries Officer Katabi and Kasenyi, and other local leaders. We also distributed copies of our compendium of laws protecting wildlife in Uganda.#savelife

It requires our collective efforts to save these innocent creatures from troubles they face each day that passes. Pangolins are mostly threatened by traffickers that if we do not join efforts in saving them, they will be no more in just a few years to come. They don’t speak, let’s speak for them.

We join the rest of the world morn the passing of Steve M. Wise, an American animal rights trailblazer, founder and president of Nonhuman Rights Project. He was an author and scholar who played an integral role in the development of Animal Law. His work and several law suits that he filed on behalf of nonhuman animals are a confirmation that persistence is key to progress. Steve did his part for which he will be remembered. When we persist, we will make the world a kinder place for animals and humans.

In our continued endeavor to save wildlife, people and the environment, we will be at Ngoma sub-county in Nakaseke district, a hotspot area for wildlife crime, on 06th January 2024 at 12:00pm to sensitize rural people on the need to conserve wildlife in their area. Ngoma is about 150km from Kampala where we are based. We are expecting a huge turn up for the meeting.

We need support to buy refreshments for people and fuel for our two vehicles. Your giving will enable us to successfully hold the meeting. Any penny counts. Donate today.

Dear friend, we have achieved so much for the animals in 2023 all because of your support. 2024 is here. Problems affecting animals are not yet over. We are looking forward to your continued support as we strive to contribute to making the world a kinder place for animals. Happy 2024.

We are working hard to protect wildlife and the people. Our officer was at Butalangu Central Police Station in Nakaseke district last week where she met the Police Community Liason Officer with whom we are organizing a community outreach at Ngoma Sub-County to sensitize hunters next month.

Uganda welcomes two male baby rhinos born at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary in Nakasongola on 12th and 13th April 2023 respectively. This brings the total rhino population at the sanctuary to 38 individuals. Uganda lost all her rhinos in 1980s when her national parks were turned into battle grounds. The last rhino was seen in Uganda’s wild in 1983. Kudos to Uganda Wildlife Authority and the Uganda government for the efforts to reintroduce rhinos to Uganda.

Buffalos have a few sweat glands which makes it difficult to maintain their body temperatures. Most buffalos have been spotted muddy. This is because they wallow in mud to cool down their body temperatures and to protect themselves from the sun and flies. Our camera spotted these buffalos at Queen Elizabeth National Park recently.
